Abstract

This paper presents a 3-phase unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) to compensate voltage fluctuation and current distortion in the power utility side. The UPQC compensates for any unbalanced or distorted three-phase supply voltages and load currents in a power distribution network. In this paper, UPQC and its control strategies are described. Hysteresis current controller is used for obtaining the gate pulses from the reference current and voltage signal. A dynamic model of the UPQC is developed in Simulink. The simulation results validate the performance of the proposed model and its operation control.
